Would I do this again? I’m not sure. But I do know for certain, to establish right at the start what type of editing is being asked of me, or if I’m to be an alpha or beta reader, a copy editor, or all of the above. And gosh, do I appreciate that it takes courage and bravery to give your hard fought words on the page to another, for them to pick at it, pull on those loose threads, and return it, a little broken, a little (or a lot) marked up.
